It would be good to invite them to give their side of the story, no?
If that ever starts to happen, man, I run away fast fast liao! :bsmilie:
I mean, imagine titles in P&P like:
'My 200 kg wife Exposed'
'Spicy Grandma dishes! WARNING! NUDES INSIDE!'
'1st posting - My Marrther is a Bikini Babe'
and who knows, one day we might actually get announcements like:
'Kopi-tiam Ah-Soh all HAWT & SWEATY! Seksi TFCD! LAI AH! LAI AH! LAI LAI LAI!'

i will book the whole session and transfer the location to geylang. the room rate is $25, cheap cheap. also will invite the model's family to come along.
WAH! INCEST-themed hoot ah? :bigeyes:
Jopel, I scared of yu leh ... got this kind of chut lobang. :bsmilie:
:dunno: But a good open talk will be good for all. I don't think that anyone here is asking for blood or are so an*l to ask them them to be goodie two shoes. I think we all just hope to see the marketing and shoot go up a level in terms of professionalism instate of going down the drain. There's much we can learn from everyone here in CS as well as from other sites. Some lessons we act on while others are learn as a reminder to stay away from.

It depends on perspectives.
To some parties, those on the list might be viewed as a collective/authoritarian group that appears to be set on taking a moral/artistic higher-ground and at the same time, depriving them of a powerful tool that has proven to draw in business and therefore, profits for them.
There may be several double-edged swords to a censorious approach, but there-again, CS does belong to a private group and therefore is free to make any rules or guidelines as is deemed necessary, or even to 'shape' or 'nurture' the type of audience/members it wants.
To me, it's not only a matter of the actual subject matter* because there will always be disagreement as to what constitutes tastefulness, and for something to be deemed as being 'in good taste', but it's more a matter of nurturing decorum. Go to the foreign photo forums specifically for nudes and erotic fine arts, or the nude and glamor sections in general photo forumsand you'll hardly find degenerative or pointedly base expressions being used.
*solely based on the argument that there will always be different people in life with different values ... and that many would find even fine arts or a great number of works from the masters objectionable.
Thank you for the comment. It sounds extreme, but this "absolute freedom is dangerous" mindset is what has been holding people and countries from truly growing into mature entities. It is not dangerous, it is merely self-serving, and serves only to make you more comfortable, not actually to "make the world safer".
Thank you for your response. I will agree to disagree with you, as differences of opinion is and should be respected. However using the F word when speaking to my boss suggests I am not articulate enough to express a strong response when it is warranted, when that is not the case. If I need to use it, then I use it, and they understand. This is still a different kettle of fish though.
The premise here is "we can control it, and control well enough". This is not me casting doubt on the ability of the mods and admins here on CS, this is me showing up with a reality check, saying "this level of control will never be truly exerted, and it is counter-productive", along with my idealistic side saying I will not support this on a personal level.
Everyone will do what they think is right, regardless, and I can respect that. I just ask for the same level of respect in return towards those of us who either don't give a damn, or those of us who sees this as censorship and are objecting to it.
So where are the mods' opinion on this? This idea of "censorship"
They've always seemed very open about the fact that they have to censor to protect us, so I guess they don't have any issue about censorship regarding sexual content?
Any forum owners has the right to steer the direction of its content. Even in less censored countries.
Luminous-landscape, Photo.net, Dpreview.com, all have a certain direction. I don't know what it says that our forums seem to be the ones with the most sexual marketing.
So let's not veer off-course into the realm of CENSORSHIP. You know I don't like censorship either.
This is more about what kind of image Clubsnap wants to encourage.
The issue here is that the advertising on the threads makes this place look lurid to some degree. Are the mods supporting the direction? Is this the way they want to go? And if so, I find it abit ironic that we can take pictures of naked women in threads that are indirectly supported by Clubsnap admin, but we can't post it on the Portraits and Poses? Now THAT is censorship, and the censorship-haters here should be focusing on that element.
It's obvious that the main point of the shooting is to attract men who want to shoot naked women and jerk off to them, photographic quality be damned.
Let's call a spade a spade, these threads cater to men who want to create their own porn, and if this is the direction that the clubsnap admin wants to go, at least be upfront about it.

I feel the reason this is so is because many of the people actually do take photos because they have that certain passion for that form of photography.
But we as Singaporeans implicitly sense that these workshops are more badly veiled ways of getting a kick out of naked women, which are seemingly lacking in Singapore.
erm... oredi page 10 le.. no time to read all....am I the first one to report here ? ;p
I still prefer my 'Alphabet Soup'..... :bsmilie:
normal member also good what....can give you some "grassroots" perspectives... :bsmilie:
There are always people genuinely interested in glamor and nude photography for reasons besides wanting to be part of the process and to beat off to the photographs later.
And there will always be the base levels of operations, with it's attendant fans and followers.
I guess it's the ignorant and the scared ones that lumps it all together.

I HAVE A SUGGESTION
Can we have a more direct and standardized rating system of the shoot
Like, Brazillian Bikini or less revealing bikini?
If it's a nude shoot, will she spread her legs?
Will she bend over and act sexy?
I mean, the people who want to join these shoots deserve to be treated to some proper information. I want to join a shoot but then I don't want to be disappointed when I go there

I know. But what's wrong with being both at the same time?
That my friend, is the true joy of photography.
Hmm, I haven't thought about it like that. How woulf you propose such a system work out?
It's just about the general public being more accepting that the driving force behind a lot of glamour and nude photography is S-E-X
I think those of you that take naked pictures that don't beat off are really missing out on the joys of photography.
I'll be damned if you can get the majority of photographers to ever admit what they do in private! :bsmilie:
I guess at the end of the day, there's no denying that SEX sells .. it's just what kind of sex does CS want to be associated with, and how that is promoted and sold.
